Herve Leger Fall 2012 Runway Review and Photos

herve leger fw12 Runway Review: If you want a truly sexy LBD, you have come to the right designer. Sexy. Bondage. Need I say more about the Fall 2012 collection from Herve Leger?! There is not a chance, with all the leather straps, anatomical seaming, and skin-tight dense knits, that a woman can wear one of these slammin' dresses and NOT exude supreme sexiness. No way. This is the most bodycon one can get; besides the perfect fit there are cut-outs, cinched waists, and deep necklines that continue to drive the Herve Leger image of a total babe.

Charlotte Ronson fw 12 Runway Review: Asymmetrical hems, oversize honeycomb stitches and graphic fair isles are must-haves, along with gotta-get sweaters. The Charlotte Ronson Fall 2012 show had me already yearning for chilly autumn's return when it's yet to be spring!

Nicholas K Fall 2012 Runway Review & Photos

nicholas k fall 2012 Runway Review: Heritage prairie inspiration with a dose of edge-- and some of the best outerwear around. Fall 2013 from Nicholas K. takes you to the wild west prairie days, roughed up with an ample amount of dark edginess to boot, and a dose of old-school 90's heroin chic played up with goth-ish hair dye. Sometimes a bit frightening! But not too terrifying, because the fabrications were flowy, easily draped on the body, and layered under soft furs and supple leathers which lends a needed soft side to the tough appeal of the overall look. A rich palette of black, heather grey, cool sepia tones, and sandy beige fit the mood. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS The washed
